The Literature Review on the Research of Derailment

The construction of the railway is developed rapidly and the train is going faster and faster, so how to control and prevent the derailment of train has become one of the important work for people. This paper has summarized the methods and the criterion of the derailment’s research. In order to analyze the mechanism of train’s derailment, this article describes three significant theories which are the theory of coefficient of derailment, the theory of modified of the motion stability and the theory of random energy; Then, this paper summarizes the main causes and the corresponding preventive measures of train’s derailment; Finally, this paper puts forward some worth problems in the research of derailment for further study, and its trends of the research on derailment of the train are proposed.
